If you are trying to install latest latest Ubuntu Desktop 20.10 (or 20.04 LTS) on x86 (32bit) PC, you will fail, as they were released only as 64-bit (amd64) images.

I'm afraid you will need to use: ubuntu-16.04.6-desktop-i386.iso

Look for 32-bit i386 ISO here: https://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/

I'm adding link to i386 of 18.04 Ubuntu MATE flavour. It will offer longer support than 16.04. Unfortunately as much as I know, base Ubuntu flavor was never released as 32-bit/i386. There is also Lubuntu flavor available, maybe others exist as well (didn't look).

Dowbload page: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/releases/18.04/release/

Look for: ubuntu-mate-18.04.5-desktop-i386.iso

Edit: don't ask me why download/release page says "Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS (Xenial Xerus)" and download link downloads "ubuntu-16.04.6-desktop-i386.iso"...

Edit: Added i386 iso of 18.04 Ubuntu MATE
